Color We Love: Slumber Sloth by Sherwin-Williams
We’re always on the lookout for colors that feel fresh and timeless—shades that quietly support a space without stealing the spotlight. One of our absolute favorites? Slumber Sloth by Sherwin-Williams. In our recent full-home project in Wynne, Arkansas, this soft, calming neutral brought warmth and cohesion to every room. Cozy but not muddy, modern but still classic, Slumber Sloth delivered the exact vibe our clients were craving. Curious how to use this versatile shade in your own space? We’re sharing styling tips, project inspiration, and why this hue has become one of our go-to picks for peaceful, beautiful living.
The Soothing Paint Color Everyone’s Adding To Their Homes In 2025, According To Designers
We have been working all summer while humming a little “lavender haze” and our work table has been full of lovely lavender and purple shades, so we couldn’t believe how timely this interview for Southern Living came along. Color trends are shifting—and lavender is quietly taking center stage. Once reserved for children’s rooms or cottage-core aesthetics, this dreamy hue is being reimagined in sophisticated, wellness-centered spaces. At Shine, we’re excited to see this soft shade getting the attention it deserves.
